` To all lwhom Iit 'may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH BENNOR, of the city of Philadelphia and Stateof Pennsylvania, have invented certain AImprovements in Extension Tablesfor Sewing Machines, of which the following is a specification:

My invention relates to swinging brackets, connected with the under sideof the tabletop, in combination with a vertical side of the cover forthe extension of the area of the table, as hereinafter fully described.

Figure 1 is an isometrical view of the top A and the cover B, with thelatter resting upon it,

and the brackets OO swung intotheir outward position to receive thecover. Fig. 2 represents an end elevation of the cover B in connectionwith the table-top A. Fig. 3 is a reverse plan view ofthe table-top A,with the brackets C C swung inward out of the way.

Like letters in all the figures yindicate the same parts.

A is the table-top; B, the cover, and C G brackets for connecting themtogether for the extension of 'the area of the table-top. The bracketsare connected with the lower side of the table-top A by means of screwsa a,

l upon which they turn freely. They are brought at right angles to theend of the top when the cover is to be brought into connectiontherewith, in which position they rest, at their inner sides, againstthe shoulders b b ofthe cleats D D, shown by dotted lines in Fig. 3. Thebrackets have hooks c c, with which the staples E E, which project fromone side of the cover B, are connected. A iirxn support is given to thecover by means of the lugs d d of t-heV brackets, against which itsinner side rests, as seen in Fig. 2. When the cover is the same, thebrackets are swung inward under the top, as seen in Fig. 3.

I claim as my invention- The combination of the swinging brackets C Chaving hooks c o and lugs d d, top A, and cover B having staples E E,substantially in the manner and for the purpose above described.
